ICYMI: A moment worth celebrating, that’s how President Cyril Ramaphosa described the handing over ceremony of the certificate of recognition to King Misuzulu on Saturday.

Amid huge expectations, in the presence of thousands, the baton has been passed on. He knows it’s never going to be easy.. Perhaps taking comfort in the fact that the nation he’s leading has so far been united behind him. And he knows the responsibility he’s taking is not easy.

While he’s long been on the throne, this moment was to hand over the certificate formally. The government recognises traditional leadership. A word of advice and congratulation from someone who’s been in the position, his uncle, King Mswati III.But perhaps this is the man who feels his job is done. Many people witness an occasion of this nature once in their lifetime, he has seen three of these coronations.

King Misuzulu’s grandfather, Bhekuzulu and his father Zwelithini. And he’s hoping the members of the royal family who still do not recognise the King will eventually accept. The outpouring of love and support from his subjects weighs heavily on his shoulders. Perhaps, the foundation for him to work to unite his family, and the nation and inspire the greater South African people is that, in this day and age, traditional leadership remains relevant and can play a key role in nation-building.

At least all events of today were safe. No bombing of innocent lives.

ICYMI: People died today. People lost their homes today. People starved today. People didn't have water or electricity today. And yet you want to celebrate a fake king. The ANC has betrayed their mission and needs to be voted out - they should never be allowed to work again.
